Toto Village had little of note associated with it until the Dunan Unification War in SY 460. Though it was a town which existed as a bridge between the two halves of Muse, it was little used due to the relative economic and political unimportance in eastern Muse, which mostly consisted of small villages like Toto and Ryube, as well as the Mercenary Fortress built by Flik and Viktor.

During the Dunan Unification War, the city was destroyed by Luca Blight's advance towards Muse City. Its influence would live on, however, throughout the war; it was in Toto that Riou and Jowy found the Bright Shield Rune and Black Sword Rune, respectively. They had been sealed in secret by Genkaku and Han Cunningham in a shrine hidden within the village. These runes, said to keep their bearers opposed to one another, came greatly into play during the war itself. Following the destruction of the town, several of the survivors began to slowly rebuild, gradually repairing the great damage Luca's blaze through the city had wrought.
